Of course the startmenu goes ontop, that's the nature of the OS.

Are you don't what use to ust the start menu when you app is running?

Does anyone know a way of making an item the highest form ? (eg nothing can
go above it, stays on top ?)

I have used the
TopMost = True

But if users hit the Start Button, it then goes over the top. Anyway of
keeping it higher or another way around the problem ?

Not sure that is possible, since, as I said, that defeats the nature of the
OS. In addition, any attempt to change the expefted behavior is likely to
piss off you users.

Having said that, After setting TopMost=true, you could aways respond to the
Deactivate event and bring the windows to front again.

See also, if the SetForgroundWindow() API would help you.
